Luie Boone doesn't know how to read, but if he did, he'd one-hundred-and-ten percent read Tsilly, the Monster of Lake Chelan. He'd bark at the cover and wag his tail at every mysterious splash Tsilly makes. Tsilly isn't just any lake monster; he's the friendly guy of the deep. In fact, he's the male counterpart to Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster. With wings like a bat, scales like velvet, and heart of a goldfish, Tsilly is a sight to behold.

If you're dreaming of a vacation that blends rugged wilderness, ocean views, and small-town charm—and doesn't make you leave your furry friend behind—then look no further than Homer, Alaska for your next trip!
